Drama''': Bob is new to ''Tales of Troperia: Online'' and Alice decides to use her high-level character to help him level up so he can join her faction. Unfortunately, while Bob's character is at a high enough level to join Alice's faction, he doesn't actually have the skills to most effectively use his character. Thus, he ends up becoming the faction's [[TheLoad load]] and quickly earns their ire. As a result, he stops playing ''Tales of Troperia: Online'' because of the abuse he's getting from the faction. Meanwhile, Alice gets spurned by her faction for bogging them down with Bob.
